DeskMan/2 2.0 is the next generation of Development Technologies, Inc.'s award winning Desktop management suite. This release incorporates powerful new features, such as the MultiDesk Personal Desktop Facility, user defined Workspaces, live Desktop synchronization and more, all seamlessly integrated into OS/2. DeskMan/2 2.0 continues to provide OS/2's most powerful, flexible and easy to use environment.

Installing DeskMan/2 v2.0 is comparable to hiring an expert who manages OS/2, and helps make users more productive. It knows how to customize, manage, enhance, protect, and distribute the OS/2 desktop environment to your exact requirements and specifications.

DeskMan/2 is integrated seamlessly into OS/2, and becomes part of the desktop environment. The result is the power to deliver exactly the desktop environment you want, with whatever extensions or restrictions you choose.

Key Features:

MultiDesk Personal Desktop Facility - allows each user to have their own, completely separate, personal Workplace Shell desktop.

Configuration Image Facility - lets you take a complete snaphot of your OS/2 configuration. All of the important data that defines how OS2 works on your system: config.sys, startup.cmd, .INI files, Workplace Shell & WIN-OS/2 desktops, LAN definition files, and user defined files , are captures, validated, compressed, and stored in a single binary repository. These repositories can be restored at any time to reset your system to that configuration. Snapshot definitions even include commands to run automatically before making and/or after restoring the configuration.

Workplace Shell Extensions - give you complete fingertip control over all operational characteristics, including object styles, menus, and ID's. You can even position icons with to-the-pixel accuracy, and make your desktop look exactly the way you want.

Desktop Archive Facility - the completely rewritten Desktop Archive Facility not only makes it possible to selectively backup, restore, and migrate desktop objects, but now it does so automatically! Desktops can re-synchronize in real-time with object archives stored on disk, LAN, or elsewhere!

Access Control Policy Facility - access to desktop resources, such as objects, windows, and workspaces can be authorized by the new modular Access Control Policy Facility, with all activities subject to auditing.

Workspace Facility - gives you the ability to define separate, named, PM work areas, each with its own windows, task list, desktop, context sensitive tools, and more! Simultaneously check e-mail in one, surf the Web in another, and work on multiple projects in others.
